This is an interesting outcome for a couple of reasons:
- If you are an iOS fan, this combined with the great XCOM sales indicates that iOS continues to be THE growth platform - heck, it is where EA made the most money last year! So it is a sign that more games of this type are headed to iOS.
- If you are an Android fan it is a good thing that you will get more games!
- If you hate mobile platforms and feel they usurp games from PC … well, it sucks for you.
- If you like deep gaming experiences this is NOT a good sign - more and more iOS and Android dominate not just the money side of things but the mind-share side … so as we keep seeing things are even more shallow and bite-sized …

btw, I don't show up in EVERY phone thread. I have better things to do. And I've shown my arse, butt, trophy, whatever in this one not because of phones and crap on them, but because of Deus Ex. I love that game, those games. Yet, I was betrayed by their makers.

Actually your general statement and sentiment is that they are crap - which is what you also stated here.

Ah, makes sense. I apologize in that regard - I forgot that you feel that the developers have a personal vendetta to ruin your life.

Now THIS I don't get. Can you explain?

As I see it, just because the two Matrix (or two Jurassic Park) sequels were crap doesn't do ANYTHING to lessen the original. Similarly , just because Deus Ex: Invisible War is dumbed down and consolized and inferior doesn't diminish the original. So why the issue that they decided to make a game for mobiles?

So you would rather have an awful PC game than a decent iOS game? Is it simply the platform? Because you seem to have fully judged the game without evidence.

My thing with 'betrayal' is that is a personal work - reflecting something promised and/or owed that has been altered with impunity. As far as I know, there was no promise of The Fall as a PC game, and no statement that its existence precludes further PC games.

I look at it like Might & Magic Clash of Heroes coming out on the Nintendo DS 4 years ago - not a betrayal, not a change … just a game (and frankly a better one than Might & Magic: Kick-Kick-Kick
